IT’S THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES. THE RICH ARE GETTING RICHER, AND THE POOR ARE GETTING POORER. THE OPPRESSED CALL FOR REVOLUTION.
BY CHARLES DICKENS
ADAPTED BY BRENDAN PELSUE
DIRECTED BY LEORA MORRIS
It’s the best of times and the worst of times. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. The oppressed call for revolution. Despots threaten global war. Sound familiar? It’s Paris and London, 1787, a powder keg of spies, lovers, madmen, and unexpected look-alikes. This radical reimagining of Charles Dickens’s classic tale of the French Revolution forces us to ask: am I who I am because of my actions or the circumstances of my birth? Do I control my destiny? And where do we begin if we want to right the wrongs of history?
